Dad installed this ceiling light when they moved into our house before I was born. Even though it looks like the seventies, I've always liked it. In fact, when we were updating our house in 1996, I begged for it to not be updated. (If for no other reason, it takes three bulbs and the new ones only took two!)
Well, when our kitchen fan seemed to be giving up the ghost, Dad purchased and installed a new one. Only then did we realize that the old light/fan were not the problem, but it was the light switch. However, kind of late to take back the new fan.
This left us with the problem of what to do with the old-but-still-working kitchen fan. Of course, we couldn't throw it away! So, someone suggested that it go into the "Girls' Room" (i.e. Lilac Bush). As much as I still loved our old bedroom light, the idea of four bulbs and a ceiling fan were attractive. So, I succombed.
So, we finally "updated" our bedroom light. The only difficuty...Dad purchased the old kitchen fan in about 1987. So, though we did updated, we didn't really moderize!
A day in the life of the Joneses! -EJ
